Dining

Every corner, every home and every food
co-op of Crete hold inside them unique
flavours that can please even the most delicate palates. Besides, the people of
the Chania prefecture know the true value of the natural, authentic, home made
products. This is why they produce them with the care and knowledge that passes
down from generation to generation.

Even if in Crete,
even mainland Greeks might need a dictionary in order to eat, one does not need
to be a taster in order to appreciate the high quality of the ingredients and
the imaginative recipes that often significantly differ from place to place.

Dishes such as hochlii (snails),
xinochondros (dried wheat with goat milk), kreatotourta (lamb and cheese pie),
stamnaghathi (wild herbs), staka (cooked sheep milk cream), sfakianes pites
(fried cheese pie from Sfakia) or tsigariasto (lamb stew), are made by
experienced cooks using exclusively local ingredients, truthfully following the
steps passed down to them by their mothers and grandmothers.
